NELA Amicus Briefs

Before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Lockheed Martin, Corp. v. Department of Labor & Andrea Brown (Case No. 11-9542), NELA filed an amicus brief on September 7, 2011, focused on two issues of law: 1) whether mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, or violations of any Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) rules are limited to fraud against shareholders, and 2) whether a whistleblower must recite the relevant statute and prove up all of its elements in order to enjoy certain legal protections. Our brief proposes that the answer to both questions is no.
